Hmm, this is what from my perspective feels the same - he's still saying that it hurts? Otherwise he wouldn't be attacking him with a handkerchief. :P
But Shen Wei isn't wiping ZYL's nose because it hurts (ZYL doesn't even notice the nosebleed until SW does); he's wiping ZYL's nose because there's blood there, ie, ZYL has injured himself again. ZYL doesn't ask for sympathy, and SW doesn't give it.
I guess I'm just distinguishing between "you're hurt/injured (and I will look after you as appropriate)" and "that must hurt (and it hurts me that you're in pain)." To me, those are really different vibes? Maybe that's just me, tho.
/possibly belabouring the point at this point, and should definitely be asleep ;-)
